- Pros Does nothing until needed. When you report the laptop stolen the company's experts recover it for you. Geolocation via IP address (GPS or WiFi in premium edition). Can remote-delete sensitive files. Persistence module survives reformat.
- Cons No option to retrieve, back up, or encrypt files from stolen laptop. Geolocation accuracy is coarse in non-premium edition.
- Bottom Line Just as with LoJack for cars, LoJack for Laptops only kicks into action when you report a theft. At that time the company's recovery experts take over the recovery process. On some laptops LoJack can even survive reformat or replacement of the hard drive.
